TITLE: Summary and Analysis of the Job Training Partnership
Act of 1982 with Selected Provisions of Interest to
Individuals and Groups Concerned about Employment and
Training Opportunities for Women.
YEAR PUBLISHED: 1982
NOTE: 18 p.
ABSTRACT: This document consists of a summary and analysis
of the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) of 1982 as well
as an explanation of selected provisions of interest to
individuals and groups concerned about employment and
training opportunities for women. (Designed to replace the
Comprehensive Employment and Training Act, the JTPA
permanently authorizes job training programs for
economically disadvantaged individuals and others who face
serious barriers to employment.) Outlined first are the
provisions contained in the five titles of the act as they
pertain to state and local job training partnerships,
training services for the disadvantaged, employment and
training assistance for dislocated workers, federally
administered programs, and miscellaneous provisions. The
second half of the document examines various provisions of
the act that are of particular relevance to employment and
training opportunities for women, including the purpose of
the act, authorization of appropriations, service delivery
systems, additional state responsibilities, program
requirements for service delivery systems, federal and
fiscal administrative provisions, adult and youth programs,
employment and training programs for migrant and seasonal
farmworkers and for Native Americans, veterans' employment
programs, national activities, labor market information, and
training to fulfill affirmative action obligations. (MN)
